Best find for me all day, a 1797 Large Copper

[cam9457]

My buddy Brian and I got out today with the hope of obtaining permission to hunt a 1727 farm but somehow wound up hunting a 1721/22 farm in the same area instead. My best find of the day was a 1797 One Cent coin. It's my oldest LC with a readable date so far. Also found a piece of a silver comb, a 1925 wheatie and the remains of a pocket watch with a cool looking seal on the back which I gave to the owner. Nice day out, nice new huge old farm to hunt and good company. Here's some pics of the LC with my microscope camera

That's probably my only option at this point Creeper. I took a few more pics of the reverse

Tooth pick I would say ,but hopefully someone with more knowlege will chime in soon to let you know for sure... I know Don had one that looked really bad then he used hot peroxcide it came out in awesome shape!
